My husband has taken time out of the woods to join us in the 21st Century!

He purchased the new Google Nexus 7 Tablet...for surfing Craig's List, Ebay, etc. for tools, pigeons,
tires, rims, etc! Guy stuff that he has to twist my arm to do for him. Gah!

Anyway, I used 108 yds of dk stash to knit up a sleeve for his tablet. I included two buttons at the top so that the (bottom) centered micro-USB port is easily accessible when the tablet is headfirst in the sleeve overnight.

I know that many 'cases' can be purchased...but I was so undecided about what kind...

Who can go wrong with knitting a sleeve in 24 hrs? If I find a commercial case or sleeve later on,
nothing lost really. Just a little time and yarn!

Very professional looking sleeve--very manly, too! I bet this will last a long, long time (I know my crocheted camera case has withstood a lot of wear and tear). In fact, the sleeve will probably outlast the tablet, which, sadly, is probably already out of date considering how fast technology changes.

Great idea. Even if you buy a commercial one - maybe a hard case that'd be more protective in more hazardous situations (like in case your hubby takes it with him - he looks like a pretty rugged outdoorsman) - you'd still rather have the knit one most of the time - lighter weight, easier access, and nicer to handle indoors
